Pollinatarium

The University of Illinois Pollinatarium is the first
free-standing service science center in the nation devoted to flowering plants
and their pollinators. Its location in the midst of the Arboretum brings
together flowers and pollinators physically and conceptually. Changing exhibits
relate to world events and ongoing research on pollinators. Guests can explore
beekeeping equipment, see live demonstrations and play interactive games.
Because so much depends on pollination, the UI Pollinatarium is dedicated to increasing
awareness and appreciation of pollination as a remarkable ecological
partnership and an essential ecosystem service. Hours: Sat, 1:30-4:30 p.m.,
weekdays by appointment only. FREE
